Well Snowy pads there great I dont use any other pad, only Snowys! But one thing that is annoying me is that im on my second pair in around 2months, but the ones Im using at the moment I have been using for a month,what they are doing is when they wear down to a certain point, they dont work as good, I cant explain it, the exact same thing happen to my first pair, has this happened to anyone before, and if so do you know why it is? I use them with light grind on V-brake or Maggie! but they still slip just started on saturday! Cheers Johny
